This website is for all things Lempriere. If your family name is
Lempriere, you're welcome to have a email forwarding from the
Lempriere.Net Internet domain at no cost -- just contact MikeL (see below).

My father (Brian) has collated lots of family tree information. It's
a long term project getting it here on the web. This information was
updated last on 12-Jan-2006. For security's sake, the information is
kept private -- please just drop an email to Brian or Mike if you'd
like access.

If your family tree includes Lempriere's, we want to hear from you! Please send us email!

The L. family roots are from the Isle of Jersey in the Channel
Islands. There is still a Lempriere St. there at this writing (2001).
(Photo will be added here eventually.)

The most known Lempriere family member is John L. the author of
Lempriere's Classical Dictionary --
a reference book on mythology published in 1788.
In the late 1990's, Lawrence Norfolk took the liberty of writing a
novel purporting to be about John L's writing of the massive work.
Norfolk's work is entirely fictional.

Another recognized member is Thomas L. who placed a tidal marker in
Tasmania in the early 1800's and made methodical measurements about
tidal and climate data. This marker and data are still in use today
as the earliest accurate measurements for "global warming"
analysis. More information about this work can be found at
